Given
j o THOMPSON.

Owing to the great press of local
matter which WAS yesterday published
in THE Examiner, the report OF the

OF the fire department on Thursday
night was unavoidably omitted. The
meeting was held at the Franklin
street engine house and was held for
the express purpose of nominating
officers to be elected at the December
meeting of the department., and who
WI sotVe during the year 1883.
The boys seem TO have been very
well satisfied during the past year
with the services of their officers, for
without dissenting voice the OLD
line OF officers was nominated as an
entirety, and consequently the names
that will 90 before the December
meeting will be A, Nj. Prescott for
chief; tor first assistant chief, 10 )
Thompson, and tor second assistant
chief, A. f.. Osborne. AS the nomi
nation i'll q case such az this
is a mere matter of form, these
gentlemen are virtually rec ected to
the positions they now hold The
election takes place on the second
Friday night in December.
Previous to the adjournment of the
meeting, the members of the depart.
ment discussed the coming ball, and
set apart the night OF Thursday, De.

From the personnel OF the above

that it Ill be numerouosly patroniz ID
